She awakened something in me that I thought had long since died. With a single glance, she unraveled every certainty I had ever known. One smile stole the breath from my lungs. One touch became a memory I could never bear to live without. She was temptation wrapped in innocence... The one woman capable of bringing the strongest man to his knees. What began as admiration became longing. Longing became obsession. And before I could stop it... She became my greatest love. The very reason my heart still beat. But fate had bound me long before she ever entered my life. I already belonged to another. She was forbidden to me. To love her was to betray my vows, my honor, and everyone who had placed their faith in me. Every stolen glance was an act of treason. Every moment together carried the weight of a kingdom. Yet the heart does not obey duty. It does not bow to honor. And it refuses to surrender to fate. When the entire world demands that we remain apart... How much is a man willing to sacrifice for the one woman he can never have?

To the world he was a beast but for her he would do anything. He could have the world but all he wanted was her. They say the things we want most are the things we can't have. For she was so afraid of him that even the thought of him could have her running for the hills. Little did she know that she was the only one who didn't have to be afraid of him.
